Family

Another year has passed by and my Little just turned 4! I can’t believe how big she has gotten. Every year as another one passes me by I am amazed at how quickly time went. When you are a kid it feels as though father time is an old man walking slowly with his cane,…

One of the greatest things about my job is I live where I work. When you live in a commercially zoned area they don’t have a school bus route for you. Since we are part of the public school system they had to make an exception and make one. This means that my Big gets bused…

As a single mom, it seems that we are always running on empty. I remember at the beginning feeling that not much was different and yet everything was different. Before I was a single mom, being a stay-at-home mom was the hardest job I ever had. Add being the bread-winner, and NEVER having a break to…

The hardest thing since having my ex leave, is helping my girls navigate the pain associated with their abandonment. My youngest was just over a year, and my oldest was weeks away from turning 5. Now my Little will be 4 in a few weeks and my Big is 7! Their dad has missed many “firsts”…

The last couple days have been a bit hectic. On top of working full-time I have had back-to-back parental duties. Yesterday was Back-to-School night for my Little who is in an amazing Preschool that takes their job all to seriously, in a good way. At the same time was my Woman’s Bible Study. I just…

Fall is by far my favorite time of year! The wind rustles through the leaves as they change colors of orange, yellow and red. The days get shorter, making the cool nights radiate with warmth as we cuddle in our homes. Sweaters, boots, scarves and mittens make their appearance, and in the PNW are used more…

I can’t always be a rock star mom. In fact sometimes, all I can be is a barely-keep-it-together-I’m-exhausted-so-let’s-eat-fish-sticks-and-watch-TV type of mom. We get so bombarded by the internet and Pinterest and we see all these amazing woman out there and we think WOW, now that mama is rocking it! The problem is that we then…

Today my Big is on a camp out, at a drive-In movie theater with her Girl Scout troop. That means my Little and I are home by ourselves. My girls are three and half years apart and had I planned this better, this is not the age gap I would have purposely chosen. I mean…

Quiet a few of my friends have asked me to share with them a break down of what I do for my oldest’s allowance. In this house we have normal chores that are part of every day life that don’t earn you any money. I want my girls to know that a family is a…

It’s that time again. Back-to-school. Dreaded words for kids and parents alike. Really though by this time the Littles are driving us crazy as the end of summer sets in and the boredom becomes unbearable. On one hand we are ready, and on the other we know that “back to school” really means, back to our…
